A Reggae God and the favorite son of Jamaica; popular from the 70s through today; most people associate him only with marijuana although his music is really incredible; political activist, rastafarian, ghetto rebel

A major problem with todays uptight society is that his music is written off as the rantings of a stoner, when in fact it really his songs spread the message of a rebel and activist

Anybody who writes off Bob Marley's music as the "rantings of a stoner", is either so closed-minded they will make judgments about things they know nothing about, or is simply stupid. Either way that person is fool #1.

Bob Marley was a great spiritual geezer, a wise man. He was outspoken about politics and spirituality, among other issues. He was originally a member of the Wailers, the nucleus of which was himself, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer (aka Neville Livingston).

Very few of his songs even mention weed. Weed was just something he did as part of his Rasta beliefs. His music is awesome, and no modern day artist in hip-hop, reggae, soul, punk, or rock compares to him.

The greatest reggae artist ever. Most people associate his name with weed, but it's just part of his religious beliefs (he's Rastafarian). He was so great, there may still be a debate on whether his body should be kept by Jamaica or handed over to his wife to be sent back to Africa. No other reggae artists can compare to him.

Bob marleys Father married his mother when he was 50 years old and she was only 18. His mother is caller Cedella Booker. Shortly after getting married they had a son, Robert Nesta Marley (Bob Marley). He was born a on Wednesday morning, February 6, 1945. He was born in his grandfather’s house. An internationally popular reggae singer during the 1970s, sung about political activism, Rastafarianism, and the legalization of marijuana. The biggest reggae influence ever.
